Total comp for a middle engineer at Uber is $450k.
- mattlondon 7y agoThat would be high for London for a middle-tier engineer! Although London is just as expensive as SF in terms of living expenses, we tend to be significantly underpayed by comparison IMO. "Market forces" etc.
- alexpetralia 7y agoDoes this include stock-based compensation? If so, roughly how much is cash and how much is stock (vesting within the first year)?
- throwaway082729 7y ago$230k can including bonus and $225k in RSU with can guarantee
- alexpetralia 7y agoInteresting! Is that for example: * 150k cash base * 80k cash bonus (between sign-on & EOY performance) * 225k vests in the first year? 900k over 4 years? * What's an RSU guarantee? Does it convert to cash if some price is not met by the time it vests? I couldn't find anything on Google about this, but I am probably looking in the wrong place
- sonofaplum 7y agoDo you have direct experience or knowledge of this? Cause this doesn't square with my anecdotal knowledge or my sense of the bay area labor market. For instance levels.fyi quotes total comp for mid level engineers in the 250 range, which tails much closer to Google, Facebook, etc.
- throwaway082729 7y agoYes I do. I know someone that got this offer and recently joined. I helped them negotiate and pick offers. This was a staff engineer but the person had only 6 years of experience.
- aardvarklegend 7y agoStaff (l7) is no where near middle engineer. L6 is senior, l5 is engineer and l4 is entry level. L6 is also split into two bands 6a and 6b. As a 6a my total comp is around 240 and on par with my coworkers. The l5s were closer to 200. L5 is a middle engineering level.
- kerng 7y agoL6 is staff at Uber. They have this weird 5a/5b thing. Meaning Amzn/goog/fb L7 = Uber L6. Msft would probably 65/66 map to Uber L6.
